Evaluation of antistatic properties of compositions used for equipment conservation

Abstract

The most widespread types of conservation compositions (corrosion inhibitor, wax, polish for chromium, and universal plastic lubricant) used to ensure seasonal equipment storage have been analyzed and their antistatic properties have been determined. It was found out that the use only conservation compositions with the best antistatic properties allowed one to achieve the maximum possible service life after deconservation with minimal work and material costs.
